Lectures

The Frost Art Museum brings leading artists, historians, and art professionals to campus throughout the year. In addition to lecturers for our exhibitions, our Breakfast in the Park and Steven & Dorothea Green Critics’ lecture series have become staple events for our community.

Breakfast in the Park

We welcome guests in town for Art Basel to visit the museum, join us for a lecture by a renowned sculptor, and enjoy a complimentary breakfast and mimosas.

Steven & Dorothea Green Critics’ Lecture Series

Since 1981, the Steven & Dorothea Green Critics’ Lecture Series has introduced internationally renowned artists, museum curators, scholars and critics to the South Florida Community.

These speakers have shaped art history through their scholarly, creative and leadership contributions. They have inspired us to think critically, investigate further, and consider the discourses and practices that shape the world of art.

Past speakers have included such distinguished figures as:

Laurie Anderson, performance artist

Harald Szeeman, Independent Curator and Director of the Venice Biennale

The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum's mission is to provide transformative experiences through art; collect, exhibit, and interpret art across cultures; and advance FIU’s stature as a top tier research university.Donate Now
